Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 4, 1922.

Application filed November 5, 1920. Serial No. 422,001.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LORENCE ORUSSA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Roanoke, in the county of lVoodford and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a; specification.

This invention relates to toys and has for its object the provision of a toy which is called a run wheel and which consists of a ground engaging wheel having a handle associated therewith and a spinning wheel mounted on the handle and rotated very fast by engagement with the ground wheel, the device being very easy to operate, being absolutely free from danger, and being very attractive and interesting to children.

An additional object is the provision of a device of this character which will be extremely simple and inexpensive in manufacture, eflicient in use, durable in service, and a general improvement in the art.

With the above and other objects and advantages in view the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in Which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device.

Figure 2 is a view thereof looking longitudinally of the handle and showing the spinning wheel in plan.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 10 designates a handle provided at one end with an elongated rod 11 having its end portion 12 turned at right angles and constituting an axle. Rotatably mounted upon this gaging wheel 13 a rubber tire l4.

Rotatable upon the rod 11 is a disk 15 which carries crossed arms 16 which may be painted in contrasting colors so as to present a pleasing appearance. This disk 15 bears against the tire 14 so that when the device is trundled along the ground the disk 15 will be spun rapidly.

lVhile l have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is of course to be understood that I reserve the right to make such changes in the form, construction, and arrangement of parts as will not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

A device of the character described comprising an elongated rod having one end provided with a handle and having its other end formed with a right angularly extending axle portion, a ground engaging Wheel journaled upon said axle portion and pro vided with a rubber tire, and a spinning member rotatable upon said rod at right angles to said wheel and engaging said tire whereby to be rotated thereby when said wheel is trundled along the ground, said spinning member comprising a disk and crossed arms secured thereon, the disk being of relatively small diameter and engaging against the periphery of said tire, and the cross-arms being relatively long and extending beyond the wheel.

In testimony whereof I affix my si nature.
